What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BC) is the most common malignant tumour of the urinary system. The current conventional treatments for BC have certain limitations. It is very urgent and necessary to find new treatment strategies for BC. Our study elucidated the underlying regulatory mechanisms of cell division control protein 42 homologue (CDC42) to regulate the development of BC. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry were used to assess the expression of CDC42 and IQ motif-containing GTPase-activating protein 3 (IQGAP3) in BC tissues and BC cells. We induced the knockdown or overexpression by transfecting sh-CDC42 or oe-IQGAP3 into BC cells. In addition, cell proliferation and apoptosis were evaluated by cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry assays, respectively. Moreover, proteins involved in the rat sarcoma (Ras)/extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) pathway were determined by Western blot. The expression of CDC42 and IQGAP3 was markedly upregulated in both BC tissues and BC cells. CDC42 silencing downregulated the expression of IQGAP3 and suppressed the Ras/ERK pathway. In addition, CDC42 silencing markedly promoted apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in BC cells. Further experiments showed that overexpression of IQGAP3 dramatically abolished the bioeffects mediated by CDC42 silencing on the proliferation and apoptosis of BC cells. All our results suggested that CDC42 promoted the Ras/ERK pathway by regulating IQGAP3, thus enhancing cell proliferation and suppressing cell apoptosis in BC cells and ultimately participating in the pathogenesis of BC.
